This study found that discoid lupus erythematous was the most common type of primary cicatricial alopecia, predominantly affecting middle-aged women.

This study found that diphenylcyclopropenone (DPCP) was more effective and better tolerated than dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) in promoting hair regrowth in patients with alopecia areata.

This case report describes a 47-year-old woman with dilated cardiomyopathy as the first sign of primary antiphospholipid syndrome, highlighting the need for APS screening in similar patient presentations.

This study identified a shared gene signature in scarring alopecia subtypes, with increased mast cell presence, suggesting similar treatment approaches may be effective across these hair loss disorders.

In this case report, a novel missense mutation c.1360G>C (p.Ala454Pro) in the MBTPS2 gene was identified in a boy with typical IFAP syndrome and severe atopic features, although no phenotype/genotype correlation was established.

Alopecia areata often recurs after treatment with diphenylcyclopropenone.

This study found a significant association between AGDAC measurements and the presence of PCOS, suggesting it could be an effective clinical tool in diagnosing the condition and its phenotypes, especially when combined with AMH.

This study investigated the mechanisms of Platycladi Cacumen in treating androgenetic alopecia, identifying potential key components and targets but found no specific targets or regulatory mechanisms.

A gene called APCDD1, which controls hair growth, is found to be faulty in a type of hair loss called hereditary hypotrichosis simplex.

This case report suggests that topical diphenylcyclopropenone (DPCP) may be beneficial for treating both alopecia areata and verruca vulgaris, although it is not typically a first-line therapy.

This study reports the first cases of recessive KRT17-related pachyonychia congenita involving all ectodermal derivatives in seven members of two consanguineous Pakistani families.

This study found that a peripilar white gray halo around hair emergence is a highly specific and sensitive dermatoscopic feature for diagnosing central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in African American patients with mild central thinning.

Gabapentin helps with scalp itch, dutasteride works for frontal fibrosing alopecia, and more research is needed for better PCA treatments.

This study will evaluate the clinical efficacy, patient-reported outcomes, and economic impact of the PAXMAN® PSCS 2 automated scalp cooling system versus standard cold-cap therapy to prevent chemotherapy-induced hair loss in women with localized breast cancer during anthracycline and taxane treatment.

This study found that higher concentrations of topical diphenylcyclopropenone, especially when prepared with acetone, showed better stability over 6 months compared to lower concentrations.

This study showed that knocking out the Ppp2ca gene in the epidermis of mice led to significant hair loss and disrupted hair follicle morphogenesis and regeneration.

In this report, a 19-year-old Japanese man experienced severe and prolonged urticarial reactions following treatment with diphenylcyclopropenone for alopecia universalis, emphasizing the need for caution with potent sensitizers.

This letter discusses three plasmacytoid dendritic cell-related parameters that may help differentiate lupus alopecia from lichen planopilaris, but it reports no new study results.

In this study, oral calcium pantothenate was associated with improvement in the inflammatory phase of discoid lupus erythematosus of the scalp, with the most marked response observed in subacute cases.

This article reviews the characteristics and presentation of fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution, a form of scarring alopecia similar to androgenetic alopecia and lichen planopilaris, but provides no new clinical findings.

In this case report, a 9-year-old boy with diffuse alopecia areata showed improvement with topical diphencyprone immunotherapy, suggesting it as a safe and effective treatment option in pediatric cases of alopecia areata resistant to other therapies.

Diagnosing and treating CCCA requires understanding multiple causes and using various diagnostic tools.

In this study, researchers found that the pCLCA2 protein is expressed in specific areas of pig skin, but its role in skin structure or function remains unclear.
